Henderson over Wharton is the biggest sore point.
Dont even get me started on Gibbs-White not being included. Also whats Madueke done to justify getting called up?
It's puzzling but I hope the decisions turn out to be masterstrokes.
Gibbs-White is excellent but Henderson brings different attributes and leadership. Bellingham and Rogers probably play a very similar role to MGW so we are strong in that area too.
Gibbs-White should have been picked ahead of Eze who's hardly even played for Arsenal this season.
I really rate Eze but how can he possibly be picked ahead of White who was the joint highest scoring English player in the league this season
I really don’t get Maguire and MGW (he was so good at our place he’s a proper player)
I say respect for the ballsy decisions on Foden and Palmer standing up and not picking ‘names’ but those 2 should have been shoe ins.
We are blessed that Nico came on this season mind he adds a totally extra layer to what we have.

Foden and Palmer only have themselves to blame. What really gets my back up though is how Eze/Henderson can get picked ahead of Gibbs-White and Adam Wharton who have both had stellar seasons and been 2 standout English players in the Premier league this season. I also dont understand what Madueke and Djed Spence have done to deserve a call-up?
This ladies and gentlemen is why I ditched England after the disgraceful way SKP was treated in his pomp. Clueless managers led by an even more clueless FA.
Why on earth would fans spend hard earned cash to watch this lot is way beyond me.

Henderson has had a really good season mind, I can see the logic in that one, and what he brings off the park is massive.
MGW over Eze I agree, for me both should have gone as Eze can play wide as well.
I do rate Madueke but agree he hasn’t exactly done enough, he’s probably in for being left sided and being a bit more physical than Foden or Palmer.
Spence is baffling. He’s been poor and also has a broken jaw. I’d have taken Trent simply for what he CAN do in terms of passing range.
Gibbs-White can also play on the left aswell, infact he did against us didnt he??
Yeah Henderson has been decent this season, but not at Whartons level imo. Im sick of hearing about how he gets picked for his experience. We have Declan Rice who captains Arsenal, Harry Kane, John Sones, Pickford how much more experience do we need?
Fair comment mate.
Not sure Wharton has been as impressive this season as last and whether he’d influence games.
Concern is that maybe Hendo starts with Rice and Jude and there may not be enough there v France or Spain.
If he picks Henderson over Anderson then i will totally give up and not watch.
So official now.
Stones/Burn over Maguire is wild.
Toney over DCL I don’t get.
I do think it’s a good squad though, been watching the squads come out and with only really Spain to declare from the major nations we really do have a good shout here.
Spain have had a load of young players explode out over last 2 years my current thoughts are they the main threat, but Portugal squad also looks really strong.
There midfield is perverse.
Never mind all this s*** have Brobbey,Sadiki,Alderete,Enzo,Mukiele etc been called up
Yeah its decent, its just frustrating seeing the players left out that could have made our squad so much stronger. I totally disregarded the fact Toney had been picked over DCL aswell which again is a very poor decision imo.
I can see us maybe getting to the Quater finals. I cant see passed the French winning it.
I thought that until seen squad, they are obscene going forward but their midfield and defence doesn’t look as strong as it was few years back.
They definitely a threat but I think Spain and Portugal look stronger overall.
Have a look at Portugal squad it is so strong.
